Suppose that the European Union follows a flexible exchange rate regime. The exchange rate between the euro (EUR) and the U.S. dollar (USD) is currently 1 EUR = 1.17 USD. (a) Use a graph to show the equilibrium in the foreign exchange market with the U.S.-dollar- per-euro exchange rate on the vertical axis and the quantity of euros on the horizontal axis. (b). Suppose that due to challenges in the Eurozone economic environment, the costs of producing goods in the Eurozone increase sharply. What effect will this have on the exchange rate?

determine the purchasing power of the country China for aconsumer good that they would buy from their Canadian trading partner.

Purchasing Power Example In the example of the picture, if a Canadian company operating in Mexico were to pay its Mexican employeesthe equivalent of $10/hour CAD (or 100 pesos/hour according to our fictional exchange rate), theMexican employee would actually enjoy greater purchasing power (the ability to acquire 20 colasversus only 10 colas) than his/her Canadian counterparts.

3. Exchange rates and U.S. exports: A graphical relationship The following graph shows exports from the United States to Japan. (Note: U.S. exports are measured in yen on this graph, which will enable you to see U.S. exports on the same graph as Japanese exports in a later problem.) [Please see the image] Referring to the graph, why does the line showing exports from the United States slope upward? 1. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. 2. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from Japan to the United States. 3. The higher the price of the yen in term of dollars, the lower the exports from the United States to Japan. 4. The lower the price of the yen in term of dollars, the higher the exports from the United States to Japan. Suppose that the exchange rate goes from $10 per 1,000 yen to $8 per 1,000 yen. On the previous graph, adjust the…
Show how you arrive at your answer. E.g. to answer the question, “How much is $16 is worth in South African rand?”, if $1 = 15.3332 rand, write out $16 x 15.3332 = 245.3312 rand, or note that 1 rand = US$ 0.0652 and write out $16/0.0652 = 245.3988.

4. Assume a two-country two-good two-input model. Let the countries in the model be Vietnam andMyanmar and the goods be shirts and natural gas. The two factors of production are labor and land.Further, Vietnam is labor-abundant and shirts production is labor-intensive. Suppose, in the absenceof trade, Vietnam operates at a point on its production-possibility curve where it produces andconsumes 20 units of shirts and 25 units of natural gas. Once it engages in free trade, the internationalprice of one unit of natural gas is .8 units of a shirt. In response to the opening of trade, Vietnammoves along its production-possibility curve to a new point where it produces 100 units of shirts and10 units of natural gas. Assume that with free trade, Vietnam chooses to consume 52 units of shirtsand chooses to trade all of its remaining surplus of shirts.a. Demonstrate the gains to trade for Vietnam.
9. Answer ALL parts of this question. Consider the standard trade model with two goods and two factors, labour and capital. (a) Suppose that a country experiences an increase in its labour force. Assume thatgood X is labour intensive and good Y is capital intensive. How would theproduction possibility frontier change as a result? Illustrate this with a simplediagram. (b) What does it mean for the “terms of trade” to improve and why might this matter interms of welfare? (c) Consider two countries: Home and Foreign. Each country produces two goods,cloth (C) and food (F). Assume Home is an exporter of cloth. Now suppose Homeimposes a 20 percent tariff on the value of food imports. What will be the effect ofthe food tariff on the relative price of cloth and terms of trade? Illustrate youranswer with a relevant diagram. You may assume that Home is large enough toaffect the world market.

COVID-19 has undoubtedly been a defining time in our generation's history, with effects on global economies comparable in some instances to what was experienced during the Great Depression of the 1930s. The pandemic has also recalled the economic shockwaves of the Global Financial Crisis of 2008/09. One can argue that this episode is like none seen before because it hasn’t emanated from economic factors. The pandemic is also having a broad spectrum of effects on economies and exchange rates globally. 4.2. Discuss the main drivers of the performance of emerging market currencies since March 2020.
